"Dorhout Animadversiones appeared in 1768, with great applause"

His quotes are insightful and fun.

Council of Carthage
6. The testimony of the African Bishops,
instar centenorum codicum, qui optimae; notae: sunt seculi V. (Dorhout.)
instar centenorum codicum quæ optimæ notæ sunt seculi V.
[equivalent to that of a hundred of the best MSS. of the fifth century].

(Christian Observer 1824 p.683)

Ambrosii Dorhout ... Animadversiones in loca selecta V. T. Complura loca in Genesi & Exodo elucidantur ipso ex Hebrææ L. genio tum ex Ch. Th., & comm. antiq. Hebræorum ... Annexæ sunt 3. dissertationes (1776)

Vulgate Prologue of Jerome
"Erasmus, Socinus and Sir Isaac Newton,” says Bishop Burgess, “ascribe the Prologue to Jerome; and Dorhout contends that it is his from the style and spirit in which it is written." (and from the testimony of early writers)

«Potuit igitur Hieronymus scribere Graecorum Codices suisse integros; negarique non potest adeo, patres Graxos locum citare.”

Sed cum locus, quem attulimus ex Victore, etiam sit instar Centenorum Codicum optimae; notae Sec. V. quis, quaeso, jam amplius in dubium vocet genuinitatem loci 1 Joh. v. 7 ?

Ambrosius Dorhout (1699-1766) really understood the import of the Carthage statement of faith, specifically citing the Johannine verse!
instar centenorum codicum, qui optimae; notae: sunt seculi V. (Dorhout.)
equivalent to that of a hundred of the best MSS. of the fifth century
The Latin is here:
Ambrosii Dorhout ... Animadversiones in loca selecta V. T. Complura loca in Genesi & Exodo elucidantur ipso ex Hebrææ L. genio tum ex Ch. Th., & comm. antiq. Hebræorum ... Annexæ sunt 3. dissertationes (1776)
Ambrosius Dorhout
(also page 276)
And I don't think his section is fully translated to English, Burgess ran with the Latin.
And I have a page that is mostly about this pithy and wonderful quote.

Remember ... this is way, way above the text-crit "pay grade" and understanding.

May be an image of text that says limus ex Victore, etiam fit inftar Cente+ norum Codicum optima noca Sec, V, quis quaefo jam amplius in dubium voces genuinitatem loci I Joh.
